General
- Formula changed for how Death Protection is calculated:
Resist chance = (monster chance - your dpro) Monster chance = 10 + monsterLevel * 5 Your dpro = resist-death + protection*3 + level*2.5
- Discarded the graph library's Dijkstra shortest-path cache and instead keep my own small cache of paths it has found.
- Changes to Rod of Death Ray:
- Made them artifacts since they're apparently OP due to recent changes.
- Lowered max charges to 25
- Added them to angel/archangel inv artifact list
- Changed angel/archangel artifact drop rates to 1/50 (up from 1/250)
- Added them to the generic random artifact list so they'll show up in other spots that generate artifacts.
- Death ray change that was reverted. See that thread for updates.
- New Armor skill, which is being tuned and then will open up for all.
- Instanced Alaria training tower.
- Instanced the pirate Ziggurat.
New "button-bar init" command for setting your button bar to the default buttons. Useful for older characters.
- Enlightenment now shows what level monster can kill you with death ray.
- ed a hidden escape hatch to the new Tutorial. In the map outside the cabin, go to the lower left corner of the map and it will prompt you to leave. Useful both for experienced players and for folks who are stuck due to edge-case bugs.
Bugfixes
- Fixed major horrible bug in tutorial where nobody could finish it. (The skills training.)
- Fixed VIP casino instancing.
- Fixed bug where you could drink someone's potion in their home.

General
- New VIP-only Armor skill. Each point gives you +2 protection. Protection acts like AC for every damage type except internal damage (poison/drowning), and also 3% death protection per point of protection.
- Changed protection from 5% death resistance per point to 3%.
- Enlightenment pot now shows your protection level.
- Earmuffs now give you immunity to a banshee's Death Wail.
- Only a few monsters have death ray now -- Demon Lord, Reaper, Arch Dracolich, Cacodemon, gold dragon, Asgard banshee, and of course the new Banshee's Death Wail.
- Reverted the min-death-chance, and Enlightenment now shows your death protection. I will be looking at ways to make Death Ray scarier without being an instakill, and without being a simple clone of Petrification. Thanks to all those of you who participated in the debate.
Bugfixes
- It was always intended that your resistance would cap at 99%, but I did the calculation wrong, so everyone who's been reasonably well-equipped has been immune. That's going to change. However, 99% feels like too low of a cap, so I've changed it to 99.5% for now. I actually roll random(1000), and if you roll a 4 or lower, you die. Meaning an average of 1 in 250 death rays will kill you if you are maxed on DPro without having actual immunity (e.g. from dragon mail).
